For fucks sake not this " he's only got that job cause the channel/ station need to meet quotas of black people " pish again. Derek Ferguson sounds like a primary 3 giving a talk to the class when he describes something which he once did as a professional. when I write that a part of me thought god I hope he doesn't read that cause it could hurt his wee feelings. the same clapped out jakies like peter Houston billy dodds jimmy Calderwood john hughes etc etc along wwith your regular presenters young cowan cosgrove Gordon have been doing the rounds on Scottish sports broadcasting for f**k knows how long, when was the last time a black former player was a guest or feature presenter on sportsound/scene? there have been plenty over the years and a majority of them will speak English as their first language, No No we'll not question the auld pals acts getting gigs since the beginning of time but as soon as a blackman is in the studio he must be a box ticker, ffs lads

Why did the plug get pulled, wasn’t it selling out most years and attracting older TITP crowds that didn’t fancy it after it became full of neds in its later years

Exactly, I rember it being perfectly acceptable to use terms such as ch.… / pa../ da.. poof tranny dyke . at the football "poof" was often hurled at a player suspected of diving. I never understood the need to get rattled upon learning that you can't use those words anymore. I believe those who do are pretty unhappy or insecure in there own selves but were clinging onto the derogatory treatment of minorities to sooth themselves ie I may be xy&z but at least i'm not a ….

I never though of it in those terms, I think the uk is much more right leaning in terms of money and the economy but the opposite when it comes to social issues like sex, drug use, womans rights and rolls and lgbt acceptance, 20 years ago, which was the big brave new millennium remember, there was still a sizable number of people thought that all druggies should be shot on site , certain jobs were not appropriate for ladies and children should be protected from gays, older ( now deceased) relatives of mine would often comment on many things that nobody bats an eyelid at now as " not right or proper" . homophobia in Scotland is mere shadow of the clause 28 campaign of 2000 . But despite all this racism and dislike of foreigners , especially ones which we think might be getting something past us, still stands strong

You still hear far too many (I think so) people in Scotland who will scramble for any reason to criticize BLM or just black people in general , " it's a pabndemic, they're breaking the law, they don't care about black lives when they kill each other, they call each other the N word , black comedians take the piss out of white people so why is it racist if blah blah greet greet. if this is you, you need to ask yourself why you think like that? Also why do you apply the same process for criticizing all of the following things ; electric cars, renewable energy, greta Thunberg , Nicola sturgeon , the EU , welfare state, foreigners etc. in other words what makes people become gamons?

Is this not the same mentality that led to cancelation of school sports days because the slow kids would feel crap about not winning?

yep, us having 8% of the population we should be having 8% of the deaths , around 13 or 14 depending where you round.

I’ve encountered all except 2, ive never been out for drinks with business clients and probably never will . And no one dared put booze into my soft drink cause i was a violent aggressive drunk when i did drink so everyone kent fine I’d leather f**k out them if they tried that !

Think nowadays most places in Scotland have banned drinking in the street, all the built up areas certainly have

The 5 mile rule is a guide only and is not enforceable by law, in any case ive not been stopped by the polis once since this kicked off incl going to work in the early days of full lockdown

I work in a shift job where if you’re not there then someone has to come out their day off and cover you at time & a half, there isn’t normally much sick absence not even during the pandemic but up until now most people would not call in sick if they had normal cold & flu symptoms. Can see management having a heart attack next winter when every sniffle means 7 days isolation !

This is a strange one, from the video everything looks really mundane as he is just sitting there talking to them , he fails the breathalyser but he doesnt look visibly pished. Only when they start putting the cuffs on him does it all kick off? You wonder if there’s more happenin than can be seen or heard? Anyway i saw another video of a white guy in America who is giving 2 cops a absolute doing , they try using the truncheons the tazers and everything else but he’s a big laddie and he’s fuckin relentless. After battering each one individualy and collectively he ends up jumping into the police car and drives off leaving the 2 standing there in disbelief. Point is at no time do they even draw their firearm. If this was a black man he would likely have been shot several times

In this country even tho our welfare system leaves alot to be desired, no child should be going hungry because they’re not getting their free school meal, where this is happening I suspect the parents are spending money on other things and leaving the food budget short

How will social distancing at school work? When i was at school few folk could afford a fag to themselves and we had to share one or “get twos” as we called it . Is this safe? Do they need to disinfect the fag end before passing it on? On a more serious note, places which have ran with a reduced number of staff due to distancing with the rest on furlough might find that they managed the workload just fine with 8 instead of 12 staff on the floor and that’s how they’re gona do it from now on. Would make me apprehensive voluyfor furlough anyway

I know there was a HUGE amount of sensitivity around the blm protest and not wanting to appear heavy handed but, do you get the feeling that if they were so genuinely worried about it they would have stopped them from taking place? Up untill now the government will get the flak for virus cases and deaths , “ not doing enough “ and “ don’t care abandoning us “ etc etc being constantly banded around by auld jean who spent her life working the bar in a social club Even now after 4 new cases in the forth valley , yes 4 - the falkirk heralds Facebook comments are filled with “ why why why is lockdown being eased when people are still getting the virus “ However after a certain amount of time passes and the initial hysteria over the virus begins to fade, is it more likely the public mood will change from helen lovejoy to “ well this isn’t going away any time soon so we might as well get on with it, can’t stay on lockdown forever “ And with that i recon alot of the easing is political damage limitation rather than public health oriented

"man goes looking for a fight and gets one" hardly a story in the grand scheme of thing is it.

you're right in that you say slavery has existed since the dawn of time and still exists in some forms today although by now it is illegal no matter where it is. the big BIG difference is only western European empires did so on an industrial scale and for several hundred years to a specific group of people & these countries would not be as wealthy and secure as they are today had it not been for their slave related activities in the past.

He's had a go at Anthony Joshua anaw, personally i'd fuckin love to see him face up to him in person and i'm not much of a bxing fan

If we get another 4 or 5 weeks down the road after all these prostests this week as well as day trips , lack of social distancing and the fact that the lockdown had generally been abandoned by a large number weeks before it was officially relaxed... AND there STILL isnt a large spike in cases, can we just get back to normal?

Surely the evidence against them is pretty damming, at least for Chauvin's ? I mean the whole thing is on video . perhaps his lawyer will recommend him to take a plea deal and avoid A going to jail for 25+ years & B any more attention being drawn to him as even when he gets out his life will never ever be normal. can't see how it will work standing up in court and trying to justify such force against a man who was not accused of a violent offence , I saw the footage of him being arrested and taken to the police car . I recon it could turn out that Floyd had said something Chauvin didn't like ( he might have also had a few beers going by the way he was walking towards to car , but he certainly wasn't out of it steaming ) on the walk over to the car to which Chauvin has went fucking mental at and started giving him a doing to which he " resisted" . this will either be on their bodycam or they will have turned them off. in either case the evidence isjust stacked against them incl the others who stood and done f**k all, it might turn out that Chauvin is the station bully that no one stands up to, who knows . but I just can't see him in particular getting off, perhaps the others might avoid jail but not a criminal record

All your enoch powel type c***s farages and so on have done a great job at convincing white brits and americans that they are now at the bottom of the pile due to "the left, liberalism , etc etc " when in reality they might be about 2% less privalidged than they were 60 years ago. it has worked wonders to get people to vote for the right in recent years.

That is truly fuckin mental there is clearly no hint of any disturbance in this street yes the aggression in the men’s voices shows exactly what the protesters are up against. Firing live rounds at a house for f**k all is incredible serious and whoever did it, or gave the order for it should be looking at significant jail time but I suspect it will get lost in the big sea of everything seen this week. They can’t let it simmer down or it’s clearly just going to happen again

What if you don’t have a smartphone?

f**k all will happen, said me, with no scientific background. I'm going to make an uneducated predictions that in the fullness of time it will be learned that to catch covid from another person you need to spend more than 10 mins at close quarters with an infected person AND all those fannys panic buying in busy supermarkets made the spread worse
